Lipstick Traces ( On A Cigarette) which reached US No 28.

Little Richard - She's got it
Little Richard get the honour of being my first post of 2012.
She's got it is my favourite Richard track. It was released in 1956 and made it to No 15 in the UK chart, it failed to chart in the US, for some reason but did reach No 9 in the US R&B chart.

Elvis Presley - (Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame
I couldn't decide which Elvis track to post first, there's so many I want to post.
So I've gone back to 1961 for (Maria's the Name) His Latest Flame.
The song reached UK no 1 and US No2
It was originally recorded by none other than Del Shannon.
